Male factor infertility is a major hurdle for many couples, but advanced laboratory techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) have turned the tide. Even if you have zero sperm count in your ejaculate (Azoospermia), biological fatherhood is still possible.
What is the ICSI Procedure?
ICSI is a form of micromanipulation where a single, healthy sperm cell is injected directly into a mature egg using a high-precision glass needle. This removes the “barrier” of natural fertilization, making it the gold standard for male factor cases.
When is ICSI Mandatory?
- OATS: Very low sperm count, motility, or abnormal morphology.
- Azoospermia: Requiring surgical retrieval (TESA/TESE).
- High DNA Fragmentation: Using testicular sperm for better embryo quality.
- Failed IVF: Previous cycles with poor fertilization rates.
- PGD/PGS: When genetic testing of embryos is planned.
The Precision of IMSI
For complex cases, we utilize IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection). By magnifying sperm up to 6600X, we can select sperm with the most perfect internal structure, significantly improving pregnancy rates in couples with repeated miscarriages.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval (TESA/PESA)
For men with absent sperm, we perform minor procedures like TESA or PESA to collect sperm directly from the source. Because DNA damage often occurs after sperm leaves the testes, these methods offer a higher chance of healthy embryos for men with high DNA fragmentation.
